Recommend Good Older Raid 10 Card?

[wavtaper]

Any suggestions on best/value RAID card for older SATA 3GB/s RAID 10 setup? Need to replace an Adaptec card I lost during a surge- just a file server but need redundancy. 4 Port, nothing too fancy- looking at LSI's and 3Wares, just not sure which one to get? Budget around $50. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Ibm M1015 is one of my favorites but it still goes for about $100 used.

Yeah the 1015 is really an LSI and can be flashed to the latest firmware to support sata 6b/s and drives larger than 2tb. Its a pretty solid raid0/1 card but dont even think about getting the raid5 key. you might as well use motherbd raid then. LoL
